Wakefield Cathedral

We were delighted to host a gathering of Deans and Vergers of fellow northern cathedrals last week. The day included a tour of the cathedral and a service in St Mark's Chapel, as well as meeting some of our clergy and staff to see how we run things behind the scenes. It was our pleasure to welcome them all and get to know them; we hope to continue this valuable relationship and support eachother as we maintain our respective cathedrals for years to come.
